Generating and checking signatures on documents is just as easy as encrypting directly
from the editor. Select a file in the file manager and copy it to the clipboard. Right-click
the padlock icon in the panel and select Sign/Verify Clipboard. Then choose the private
key to use and enter the associated password. KGpg informs about the successful gen-
eration of the signature. Files can also be signed from the editor by simply clicking
Sign/Verify. To check a signed file, go to File > Open Editor, load the file to check in
the editor, and click Sign/Verify.
